More subnetting

I know there have been questions asked about subnetting but I was just curious as I am not sure I have seen anyone post a program that you can download or a video that you can get and watch to go through the basics of subnetting up to the required level of proficiency that is needed to pass the ccna. I also am wanting to put this software if there is some on my lab computer as I am not able to download or watch anything on my production computer and it is the only machine at work that has an internet connection (I work in a secure government building and most everything is locked down). Thanks guys.

cool. Thanks. How about good books for subnetting? I have the Sybex book but haven't got to the subnetting part yet. Is that a good reference?

The Sybex book is worth the price just for the subnetting section.

Looks like I will be going to that chapter and doing some reading. Thanks for the information.

One focused reading of that chapter in the Sybex book and you'll be sorted, seriously.

That is very good to hear. I was taking a practice test and the subnetting questions were definitely my weak sections.

Another paper that i used was called "seven steps to subnetting" put that in a yahoo search and it will come up. Its a web page that you can print out and study. Really helped me. I read different takes on subnetting from different places until it finally came together. After you get it, its like tying your shoes
